Not that I plan to, but if I did, I'd be able to pick up a lot of the slack of rides without dogs so that other drivers could pick up the dog rides. I'm sure many drivers are more than willing.

I don't see how this isn't a win-win for them to allow it but give each driver a preference.

Because it's discrimination against people with disabilities and per the ADA illegal.

So if I really need the cash, I need to risk my life and the customer's life in the name of ADA compliance ...

With that kind of logic, why not just a rob a bank if you really need cash. They're both illegal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry, I don't think that's a fair or constructive comparison.
